ESRA Major Officers at the Networking Evening: Clara Lobo, Thomas Volk, Eleni Moka, Alain Delbos

Dear ESRA members,
Dear participants,

What a comeback!

Organizing this meeting was bitter and sweet, since its very start. The early proceedings were interrupted due to the pandemic and we had to postpone, wave after wave after wave…

Fortunately, and with everyone’s efforts, ESRA organized one of the greatest meetings of its history, face-to-face!

More than 1600 participants and 200 faculty, 215 well attended scientific sessions and 62 fully booked workshops!

There are so many highlights that the ESRA Newsletter editorial team decided to dedicate this July number to present every special moment of the 39^th ESRA Annual Congress, in Thessaloniki, Greece.

As MO’s of ESRA, we are very proud and wish to pay homage to the local organizing committee for their countless efforts and extreme dedication to the success of this congress!

Finally, some words of due recognition for the support from the Greek National Government, Thessaloniki’s local authorities and a very, very special thank you to our Industry Partners.

We hope this number of ESRA Updates gives you a glimpse of what was the 39^th ESRA Annual Congress.
